Shadow Shot Sunday

Long time between posts, and even longer between shadow shots! This is number 28 for me, and if you head on over to Hey Harriet's blog, you'll see heaps more!

Last week I was fortunate enough to rescue some very lovely vintage dresses from ending up in the rubbish bin (yes, sad but true, all these lovelies going off to the tip nearly broke my heart!); mind you, there were a lot of 'bin-worthy' items amongst them... So, I made my selections and carefully bundled them home for washing and a little t.l.c.

Today's Shadow Shot is of a lovely 1960s green linen dress, with front buttons, a dropped waist and pleats, soaking up the glorious autumn sunshine on the clothesline. Not only is the dress lovely but the label as well - I just love the old dress labels!

This lovely scrap of fabric was also rescued and is quite worn in places, but has a lovely sheen to it and rich colour. I can't wait to use this little one! (this pic has some nice subtle shadowing in it too!)I feel like it's Christmas time with all these lovely goodies; now to decide what alterations are needed as well as what to use the fabric scraps for! Happy me!
